Summary
Y/N makes a desperate pact with a demon for one simple, aching thing: for the Batfamily to love her back. Not romantically, not greedily, just the way family is supposed to love someone who has been standing in the doorway too long, waiting to be invited in.
But demons adore loopholes, and this one turns Y/N’s wish inside out. Suddenly, everyone she meets is drawn to her with unsettling warmth, devotion, and fascination, while the only people she actually wanted remain untouched by the curse.
Worse, the contract comes with a monthly murder clause, strange rules Y/N has to unravel through trial and error, and the slow, horrible realization that magic can force affection from strangers but still can’t make family choose her.
